This 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass, listed here on craigslist in Vancouver, blends vintage style with a few tasteful updates. Finished in fresh paint, it’s powered by a 330 cubic inch V8 paired with a 2-speed Jetaway automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes make it an easy driver, and the lowered stance gives it a sportier look without losing its classic lines. The seller hasn’t provided extensive details on mileage or history, but at first glance, it presents as a solid, ready-to-enjoy cruiser. Thanks for the tip Curvette!
The 1964 model year marked the start of the second-generation Cutlass, with cleaner, more squared-off styling compared to its predecessor. This example’s fresh paint appears to be a professional job, enhancing the car’s sharp body lines and brightwork. The lowered suspension subtly updates the car’s look without straying far from its original character.
The stance is slightly more aggressive than stock. While the seller doesn’t mention any rust issues, the body panels look straight in the photos, and the trim appears complete, a plus for anyone looking to preserve originality.
Interior details aren’t provided, so prospective buyers will want to check seat upholstery, dash condition, and whether the gauges and controls are functioning. Given the car’s overall presentation, it wouldn’t be surprising if the interior is as tidy as the exterior.
The 330ci V8 was Oldsmobile’s new small-block for 1964, offering smooth performance and good torque. Paired with the Jetaway 2-speed automatic, it delivers relaxed cruising rather than aggressive acceleration. Power steering and brakes make it an accessible classic for drivers of all experience levels.
For someone wanting a stylish mid-’60s GM A-body that stands out from the more common Chevelle or LeMans, this Cutlass could be a great fit. With its clean presentation and easy-driving setup, it’s ready for weekend cruises or local shows. Would you keep its mild custom stance or return it to factory ride height?
White walls? Nice car. Still don’t get all comments on the lowered stance. You can make a lot of ugly cars look good with a lowering job.
100% on the lowered stance with cars, to a certain degree. I’ve seen slammed modern imports that I don’t love though.
I swear it had that thin white wall line when I was looking at the ad, time for me to get more coffee :)
Welcome to BF Elizabeth.Looking at the left side shot it does look like it’s got whitewalls on it but looking at the other left side shot on the Craigslist ad you can see it doesn’t. Almost got hooked on that one myself. A lot of the really slammed cars you will see on BF have air bag systems you can raise the chassis back up to drive them.
Most cars look better lowered slightly. I think taller tires would help this cars appearance, they’d help fill up the wheel wells while increasing the ride height.

Or ugly up a good car for no reason. Bring on the foxtails.
Nice ride, but first thing I would have to do is raise it back up to stock ride height (easy change). Personal taste but IMO, lowering doesn’t look right on this body style.
And,to me,those wheels don’t work on this car.
If the car checks out mechanically it looks like a decent price.
I’m not a fan of lowering either. Taller 15” wheels & tires with a simple offset change would go along way to improving the visuals. These changes would also improve overall drivability.
Did that with a 66 Fairlane years ago and never looked back.
Easy and inexpensive.
How much filler under that nice paint?
What I like about the B-O-P cars is that they don’t have the exaggerated wheelbase of the Chevelle. Nice looking Cutlass. I’d probably have left off the roof molding during the repaint. That’s some seriously tinted glass. Figured that went out with the 50s.
That window tinting Fits right in with the lowering kit.
I loved the styling on these when they came out and I still do. Had a friend that had a light metallic blue’ 64 Cutlass with the 330 and a four speed. That was when muscle cars, especially GM muscle cars, were THE car to have.
This isn’t a GS, GTO, 442 or Camaro SS but its cool factor is definitely in the same league. If this car were mine I would put on wheels that resemble those it would have come with and return it to something closer to the stock height. But that’s me – it’s beautiful as it is.
I like it a lot! Personally my taste goes towards ss1 wheels though.
Put stock springs back in with ‘fatter” front and rear sway bars!
